Should there be instant "severe foul" if there is more than one ball of the color? It can be time consuming and messy to put all the balls back to have a player try again. It's faster to instead of "foul and a miss" only give the player one chance to hit one of the object balls when there are...

Foul rules By default the number of foul points given will be 1. Merely potting the cueball itself will not give foul points however but it will result in "ball in hand" for the player who did not pot the cueball. Foul and a miss You can give the players multiple chances to hit the object ball...

The order in which you play the colors is the same as the final 6 colors in snooker (yellow, green, brown, pink, black) if the number of balls of each color is the same. For example you play for yellow here: Not that the starting area shown here only affects the first shot, the goal is to...

Dave rat demonstrates: humans can pick up 40Khz This is when using a very loud tone however.

The morality of reducing females to property for others to enjoy The rational way to evaluate this in terms of what's ideal for a global society is to assume you are going to live another life as a random human with no memory of any past life. Let's say you get the following quality of lives...

From libertarianism to police state When you pursue an economic policy that results in significant poverty/inequality there will naturally be a significant amount of social unrest. The lack of interaction with the state and wider society will result in increased fragmentation and the only way...

No that's not how central banks operate. The money printing is justified by trying to reach 2% yearly annual increase of prices. You digging a hole and filling it up again doesn't create wealth. The government consist of people. It's not merely some abstract entity.

Eugenics and population control People deciding to reproduce (or not reproduce) can affect people for many generations. We can see clearly that giving females the freedom to choose how many children to have doesn't work. You end up with sub replacement fertility. Furthermore people with...

It was always a dumb idea. It probably cannot work in the first place. But at least libertarians in favor of lower AoC have some consistency, most are instead political cockolds afraind to in any meaningful way oppose feminism. Nonsense Feminism is a form of societal cancer, it's almost...

The sleeping beauty problem For some people a lot of people struggle with this very basic problem even though it's very easy to get to the right answer. People who think the correct answer is 50% would go broke very quickly if they tried playing online poker. It is worth noting that when the...

While i do find philosophical topics very much interesting i also find myself avoiding pretty much the entire field of philosophy because it comes off as nonsensical or at least devoid of any answers. It's also interesting how people without any formal philosophy education seems to get things...

Having power over other people can be very fun You can enjoy yourself a lot having absolute power over someone else. But this can also be very exciting for the people being dominated, especially sexually. Deep down you desire authoritarianism but you may have been conditioned by...

Societal survival of the fittest Many forms of governance are currently not viable long-term when there is competition between states. The competition between states will push governments to implement policies that are very far from libertarianism such as forcing males to become cannon-fodder...
